>>221783881>J.J. Abrams’ sci-fi fantasy movie The Great Beyond starring Glen Powell and Jenna Ortega won’t be opening on Nov. 13, rather it’s moving to Oct. 1, 2027, setting off a chain reaction for Warner Bros and sending Matt Reeves’ highly anticipated The Batman Part II, which was on that date, to Feb. 18, 2028.It's Abrams' fault.
>>221783881you should delay it forever because the Kravitz chick already hit the wall
>>221783881they need more time to add five more villains to the plot.
https://vimeo.com/1210181433KINO INCOMING
>>221783881That's like five Warner buyouts from now
>>221783881Jfc what's happening with this franchise? Why's it taking so long to film it
I remember when people joked about Nolan taking too long with The Dark Knight Rises
>>221784061It's filming right now>>221783923
>>221783881>>221784061>>221784096It's never coming out

>>221783881This shit is the Duke Nukem Forever of Batman filmsIt's going to be total dogshit, this ain't "Reeves is a slow writer" or "muh Paramount deal", this is very obviously just dozens of rewrites and shit probably after earlier takes had really bad reception
>>221783904She’s not in it anyway
>>221784364so they're making a Batman movie without Catwoman? why?
>>221783881This dude put both Snyder and Gunnverse Batman movies' on hold just for this kek
Its funny how this was supposed to be a young zoomer Batman but Robert Pattinson is older than Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Christian Bale were in their Batman movies.
>Burton 89 was 50 decades ago>Nolan Begins was over 30 years ago>Affleck Bateman was a quarter of a century agohow time flies, feel young yet?
>>22178445450 decades ago is 500 years ago
>>221784425whoa
>>221784488No wonder I feel so oldTime flies
praying this fucks up the inevitable fourth DCU reset and they just beg Nolan to come back
>>221784061Gunn hates that people like this more than any of his projects so he is trying to sabotage it
>moving your movie because you're scared of a fucking JJ Abraham release in the current yearlollmao even
>>221783881To insulate it against Man of Tomorrow probably. There's really bad juju around that movie
>>221783881Supergirl scare kicked in
>>221783901>highly anticipated
>>221784592Would be pretty funny if the DCU began and got canned between the time it took to release the two batman movies kek
>>221784061Gunn keeps trying to steal the whole thing from Reeves cuz he knows his vision for the DCU is fucked
>>221783923his ears are taller
>>221783923No new suit for Batman??
>>221783901Abrams got Reeves the job. I guess he owes him.Also a reminder that JJ got $250million to make DC films as the next Snyderverse and all he did was get Reeves on Batman and they produced the shitty Batman cartoon. It was so bad they sold it off to Amazon. JJ had been planning a "black Superman" written by Tanehisi Coates and other things. All vaporware.
Reeves Batman felt like leftovers from Nolan's world warmed up in the microwave.Pattison deserved a better film. I say the same for Affleck.
>>221783901>let's move the guaranteed-money-maker so that JJ's sci-fi film can flop on that day insteadSeriously? It's like they're going out their way to make sure we remember how incompetent they are
>>221784061>>221784592>>221784768Didn't Reeves announce he had health problems? Warner should have just canceled it, but didn't want to look bad I guess. I am sure Gunn didn't mind putting it on the back burner with that excuse.
>miss their chance to film Batfleck solo movie>get butthurt>nuke the whole Batman moviesWhat's the next Batman thing?Clayface? Is that cancelled too?
>>221785186Get well soon mr Reeves.
>>221783881So, six years after the first movie(assuming there's not still more delays). I mean, worked out for some MCU movies, but this isn't the MCU and while Batman's usually the exception, superhero fatigue's only growing.
>>221785186>Didn't Reeves announce he had health problems?No. That was something put out there by Grace Randolph. Could be true, could not. I think Gunn denied it but he's hardly trustworthy
>>221785186>>221785297The actual rumour, backed by various people in film news/forum comments, is that his wife had health problems.Some said cancer. For obvious reasons, you're not going to get a confirmation one way or another anytime soon (unless she dies)
>>221784397Because she is just one side character of many? Do you not know how comic book stories work? You tell a story with some characters and then in next month’s issue you tell a story with different characters. Do you not understand that?
How a generic capeshit can be in production hell? This isn't Cleopatra or Waterworld.
POST THE NEXT ENDING THEME FOR THE BATMAN 2HARD MODE: NO NIRVANAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tmPBuSpmfA
>>221785403I wouldn't call her a side character.
>>221785186F
>>221785403People here don't even watch the movies and shows they're discussing half the time, and you expect them to read?
>>221785403this is why comic books sucks
>>221783881I swear to fucking god, if they jump from "inexperienced batman" straight to "getting too old for this shit batman" because this movie took 6 years to make I'm gonna commit a hat crime.
>>221784592Well hurry up and fire and prosecute him, then.
>>221785549what exactly does a hat crime entail
>>221785549What are you going to do to the hats?
Has any other Batman been anywhere close to as powerful as the Arkham version?
>2028WB is literally run by retards.
Pattinson will be older than Affleck's Batman when this comes out.
>>221785623>Gets canonically killed by harley quinn (in conroy's last performance as batman)
>>221785652Insane how he looks younger than Affleck
>>221785230Batfleck was canned because Affleck was just not the right choice from the beginning, that’s why it came a bunch of shit over the script and the multiple of version of it. It was all a pipe dream, he should’ve just taken the main role and that’s it. His idea of writing and directing it was dumb
>>221783881I’d maybe understand if they were taking this long & it was to make a grounded Mr. Freeze work, but this shit is just going to be another se7en ripoff. Matt Reeves is a fraud who’s been exposed
>>221785830>Affleck was just not the right choice from the beginningBullshit. Snyder was the wrong choice. Affleck was a fine pick and he should have directed the damn thing. Before Snyder, before George Miller, WB offered Affleck Justice League. He was busy finishing Argo. WB did not eant to wait and gave it to Miller, which they canceled mid production. Arnie Hamner was set to play Batman and some reports say scenes wete filmed.Warners can Argo fuck themselves for this mess.
>>221785838>another se7en ripoffDon't forget the lazy ripoff Zodiac elements!
>>221785838According to recent leaks it’s not even Freeze, it’s a grounded Ivy and Zsazz. It’s really fucking odd that’s the route Reeves wanted to go. I don’t mind the se7en riff off but if you are touching just grounded and realistic version of the villains, why not pick the actual grounded and realistic villains that in no way are they going to be in something like Jimmy Goon’s DCU. People like Pig, the Owls, Hush, Hugo Strange, Deacon or fucking idk a version of the Mad Hatter
>>221785996>doesnt want to see sexy poison ivyok man
>>221785996>groundedReeves is no Chris Nolan and even Nolan's "realism" gimmick was getting tired by Rises. I think Nolan has gone full retard trying to apply the same gimmick to Greek myth.
>>221785996Cause those take effort to write. You really think the same guy who made Riddler a boring zodiac ripoff could write a good Hugo Strange? KekIvy and Zsazz are very easy to write, the former just make an ecoterrist and the latter another ripoff of a Fincher film
>>221783881The Batman was in 2022. Battinson was 35.2028, the Battinson will be 42. A movie beyond that he'll be 46+?This was supposed to be the establishing movie of a "young" Batman. DC can't stop hiring retards.
>>221786059>modern Hollywood>sexy Poison Ivy
>>221783923THE EARS ARE TALLERKINOOOOOO
>>221786091He'll be 40 in 2028.
>>221785230Who the fuck even cares about clayface?
>>221786091They hired Snyder and Abrams and Gunn to run DC. There never was any hope.
>>221786059I want to see a sexy Ivy, but I also want to see Ivy be you know actually Poison Ivy and controlling plants and shit
>>221785830Everyone in the industry said Affleck’s script was amazing. The problem was that by then, WB executives already had issues with Affleck and paid JJ a lot of money to produce something that never came out.
>>221786183I care after seeing the trailer.
>>221785186>Warner should have just canceled itThey can’t. They signed a contract. That’s why the Batman in Gunn DCU has been slow and clusterfuck. They are waiting for Reeves to finish his Batman movie before making Brave and the Bold. But Reeves dragged his feet making the script for Part 2.
>>221785101I remember that
>>221785549Mad Hatter confirmed for Smash
>>221785792Not anymore.
>>221785148A fully fleshed out DC universe that's still "realistic" would be one that heavily leans into conspiracy theories regarding the existence of superpowers and aliens
>>221784570Odyssey is doing too well now for Batman Beyond to happen
>>221783923Has it been confirmed if Selina will show up again?
>>221787526Say what now? Why would Odyssey get a Batman Beyond film cancelled?
>>221783881You could easily put out a Batman movie every two years with zero problems.
>>221784397>so they're making a Batman movie without Catwoman? why?
Fucking hell, this fucking summer just blew
>>221785057He doesn't always need a new suit. I kinda appreciated how Dark Knight Rises kept the same suit from the previous movie and wasn't trying to sell new toys that way
>>221787694Because Nolan is doing well enough without them that he wouldn't need to make it
>>221787927it's like making a Mario movie without Bowser
>>221788509The point is, the fanboys claimed that Robert’s Batman was basically Robocop because, as a newbie, he needed all that extra protection, and they argued that in the sequel he’d get a suit more like the one from the comics.
>>221788509The trade off for not getting a new suit or new gadgets every time was getting a new shitty vehicle. This is why the ending is so terrible, Nolan had to work that stupid fucking plane into the finale.
>>221786478Keeeeeekkk
At this point they’re going to have to digitally de-age Pattinson for the 3rd movie
something in the way......
>>221783923
>>221785418https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csZTPVCLHyk???!???
>>221788800They made like 5 without her
Kek, pattinson will be pushing 60 when part 3 is coming out...what a shitshow
>>221790501and they all suck
>>221783901How the fuck did a JJ Abrams movie bump a Batman sequel, especially after godawful TRoS?
>>221785623Later arkham batman can literally fly across a street with the power of his punch at a henchman
>>221783923KINO INC
>>221790743He's the producer.
>>221784061WB is probably as incompetent as Sony as far as a studio goes. Look at how they gave James Gunn a universe but didn't let him use the only DC character anyone cares about.
>>221786091Honestly shocked, I thought he was mid twenties in the first filmHe looks young
>>221787267Studios cancel movies all the time.
February is when they release the big blockbusters. Must know it will be a dud.
>>221790771So the inmates are running Arkham asylum.
>>221783881Seen the first movie twice.Have no recollection of anything that happened.
>>221791013Fucking dropheads...
>>221786182Pattinson just turned 40 back in May of this year.
>>221790792Because you don’t understand how time works?
Rumor has it the movie was delayed because Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy are set to take over all WB/DC projects after 2027, with James Gunn and Peter Safran stepping aside. The new duo would reportedly give Reeves full control of everything Batman-related, aligning with the release of several shows and spin-off films tied to his The Batman universe. That’s why the sequel is pushed to 2028, timed to coincide with announcements of other Batman-adjacent projects meant to build hype for the post-Gunn/Safran DC era.
>>221791205Because I don't know or care enough about this actor to consider his age>looks young>supposed to be young in the film>assume he's still quite young
>>221784364Good I refuse to watch The Batman because they blackwashed her (stfu I already know about Eartha Kitt) and her line in the movie about whites
>>221791274Surely you have a vague notion of when the Twilight movies came out? You just sound retarded.
>>221791275Presumably black Gordon will be in the sequel though.
>>221791285I am quite retarded, but that has nothing to do with the twilight moviesWhy would I be aware of when a film franchise for teenage girls came out, or that this guy was in itDid you watch those filmsAre you a teenage girl
>>221791394I straight up don’t believe that you didn’t know Pattinson was in Twilight via cultural osmosis.
>>221791463>cultural osmosisthat's not a real worddid you make that word up
>>221791698Jesus, you actually are retarded.
>>221783881batman was so kino, robert perfected the role and treated batman as a real person
The Batman Part II just got delayed again, now moving to February 18, 2028.The official PR is that Matt Reeves just wants more time in post-production and grabbed that 4-day Presidents Day weekend.The actual rumor? It's a calculated waiting game to ice out James Gunn.For years the narrative was that Reeves was just a slow writer and is taking his time writing the sequel, but insiders are now claiming Gunn was the one stalling the project and even tried giving Reeves notes on the script.Reeves and WB exec Mike De Luca basically said "screw this" and intentionally delayed the movie. Why? Because the Paramount board taking over in the upcoming merger supposedly wants Gunn and Peter Safran out of DC Studios. By pushing the movie to 2028, Reeves ensures Gunn is long gone before his movie release and keeps him far away from his universe, with is set to expand under the new De Luca-Abdy regime, with news spin-off shows and even possible spin-off movies.This also explains why Gunn is reportedly trying to shoehorn his own Batman and a ton of cameos (like Blue Beetle and Guy Gardner) into "Man of Tomorrow," he knows he's on his way out and it's his last hurrah.And here is where the other shoe drops:Zack Snyder and Frank Miller both just broke a 9-month Twitter silence literally six minutes apart.They are doing a live sit-down event together in LA this Saturday (July 18), right around the time the Paramount merger is supposed to close.Snyder even posted on Instagram promoting the event using a track from his Justice League score ("We Do This Together").The word on the street is that the Snyder return is back on the table with the new De Luca-Abdy regime. The rumor is Snyder is fully on board to adapt The Dark Knight Returns, with Reeves as producer, and finish his Justice League arc once the Paramount deal is finalized.
>>221791870>By pushing the movie to 2028, Reeves ensures Gunn is long goneHow exactly? Gunn is actually putting out movies and shows more than once a decade. lol. This rumor is silly.
>>221791983Gunn contract ends 2027, and hasn't been renewed.
>>221791983The rumor is implying that Reeves wasn't slow because he wanted, but rather because of Gunn interference.
>>221790795They have an iron clad contract. Reeves movies can’t be interfered with.
>>221792010Word? I'd assume the fact that they're merging makes his job more secure at this point because they want consistency, not chaos. Who would they even tap to take over? Also, the Snyder bit at the end just gives away the whole game; leave it off next time.
>>221792101That's the rumor, not me.And the ones to handle things would be the De Luca and Abdy pair, that are currently running WB movie business side.
>>221792101
>>221790771>>221790950JJ isn't producer on The Batman as far as I know, but he was producer on Batman: Caped Crusader with Matt ReevesOn top of that Matt Reeves worked with JJ/Bad Robot in the past with Felicity and Cloverfield
why do those retards think there can’t be two batmans in film? normies know what the game is and won’t be confused by battinson and whatever quippy dancing gay batman gunn would do
>Leave the clown to me batman.. I know just what to do
>>221783881/tv/ twilight trannies boyfriend new slop just dropped!
>>221783881>6 years later>No qt Sofia>Only 5 minutes apparently of Penguin>Fat, Gay Nigger Harvey DentI want it to be good but it’s not looking bright. At least I hope they saw the criticisms of the first and have Batman actually do things in the story instead of showing up after the fact. How about some actual stakes for Bruce Wayne?
>>221783881They're delaying because the film is a mess or they think any wokeshit they put in the film will be accepted in 2028. Either way the chuds will boycott and pirate. Fuck Reeves.
>>221785275It's mediocre to shit film fatigue. The genre is almost never the problem.
>>221787674People say it Long Haloween so it Sofia Falcone.
>>221792950They just started filming it bro.
>>221783881
>>221791275The change makes sense. She is a thief
>>221791870Yes, it seems James Gunn is finished. But why give the keys to the kingdom to Matt Reeves? His Batman movie is absolutely terrible, and the worst part is that he's bringing back his old friend JJ Abrams.
>>221783881>what if nolan batman but like...year 1>and no interesting takes on villains, just nolanified Severely overrated desu.
>>221783881Abram’s is the coverup but it’s obviously because Reeves wants to distance himself from the fallout that’ll occur when Man of Tomorrow flops.
Gunn leaving the DCU through the back door is music to my ears. That faggot pedophile who only hires friends deserved it.Now, I don't like Matt Reeves; he shouldn't be Batman's great chef. Using the Dark Knight mythos to sell himself to Hollywood as a David Fincher for Zoomers is pathetic.>>221794894This
Could it be true?
>>221795386SAARS WE ARE SO BACK SAAR THE SOURCE TELLS US THE NEEDFUL
>>221795386>no goofy stuffThere is a huge area berween Batman 66 and Snyderverse / Nolan.Gunn failed to hit it right, but going back to Snyder / Nolan "gritty realism" is a horrible choice.
>>221799148They also listed Wonder Woman as an example.
>>221783881won't he be an unc by then?
>>221785623Batfleck takes out rooms full of armed thugs and alos runs assist against Doomsday and Steppenwolf so that's probably the closest you're going to get for a while
>>221799246Given that Snyder set Wonder Woman during the entirely wrong world war and didn't get that superheroes came outnof the 40s, that isn't promosing.The Wonder Woman film was a hit because of the chararcter's popularity, not Snyder's tone.
>>221784414The Batman isn't part of Gunn DCU
How about a gothic horror Batman?Fake tryhard realism is not needed.
>>221799407Doesn't make it suck any less.
>>221799252He’s already an unc. He’s forty years old.
The Batman wasn't so good that I'm even annoyed about the sequel being delayed. It was the definition of a shoulder shrug film.
>>221791267Does this mean we will get a new Supes?
>>221791870>Bringing Sneeder back? Why?
>>221791870This is so retarded I can see it actually happening.
>>221791870This doesn't make sense as Jimmy Olsen series is in early production and Lanterns apparently got renewed for a second season.
>>221791870>Let Gunn contract expireI can believe it>Bring Snyder backI can not believe it
>>221783923I really, really hate that cowl.
>>221790457Kek
bump
>>221791267Doubt it, and the wait has been so long that any universe they want to announce will just look unappealing
>>221785410The new Blade, for example
>>221792101Supergirl gave the execs cold feet. Warner doesn't have the money to sustain flops like that.
>>221791870>Get free from Gunnjeet>Hack Snyder is backThat's fucking grim. DC is cursed at this point lol
I just want 70s Bronze Age Batman on the big screen, is that too much to ask for?
>>221783901that movie looks like AI slop
>>221783881At this point Gunn should get off his ass and fast-track Batman once he's done with Superman 2.
